I just found out about this and thought it was pretty cool. For those who didnt know the Norman kings of England went on a sidequest and conquered coastal Ireland in the late middle ages. The middle English of their soldiers spread there and grew into 2 distinct yet highly intelligible languages very much like Scots. However unlike Scots these did not survive the test of time, dying out a little over 100 years ago.

Fingallian is clearly very influenced by modern English and its easier to understand than Scots:

e.g.

On a day in the Spring,As I went to bolringto view the jolly Daunciers,They did trip it so high(Be me shole!) I did speesix Cunts abateing Seav'n hairs

But the Forth and Bargy Tongue is much less so and its even harder to understand than Scots:
